Opinion

College should let courts handle nonacademic cases

By Gerald Martin | May 4, 1995

To the Editor: Senior Associate Dean of the College Daniel Nelson makes an astute and worthwhile observation in his letter to the Editor of The Dartmouth on May 2, 1995, when he writes that "Difficult matters are often difficult to discuss, but they deserve the benefit of accurate information, integrity and a willingness to learn from one another." However, even the therapeutic disciplinary process [Dean Nelson] describes is a pale imitation of the justice system as it exists outside sheltered campus communities.
